special rate on the raw material
shipped IL him either from Chicago or
the east, and To this was added a special
rate on the manufactured product
when shipped to market. By this dis
criminatlon hundreds of manufactures
have beer fostered and built up in the
west. Now the law has changed all this.
The special rates had to go, and as the
railroads could not very we'll afford to
pull down their tariffs to the figures
made in the specials, it naturally follows
that these local manufactures are badly
crippled. The same is true of the small
iobDers located at such centers as Des
Moines, Dubuque, etc. The law takes
away from the railways the
right to show them any special favor, and
the result ia that they are forced
into competition with the big east
ern firms on terms OF equality, and the
advantages in the way of capital and re.
sources are with the latter. OF course
the railways are damned, although in nc
wise responsible. As the Times has here.
tofoFe demonstrated, the west has been
built up on the very principle of dis
crimination which the Law prohibits.
While not always wisely administered
still, AZ a whole, 1t was the main factor
in the growth OF the numerous small
commercial centers throughout the west,
aud now that the railroads are forbidden
to exercise it. those who are benefited are
asking themselves whether the change is
exactly what is wanted.

rections. Several policemen were struck
by stones, but moi seriously injured.
About ten Of the mob were arrested and
some were found to be armed. The mob

Unsuccessful. The Jail is guarded by

Washington, April 26-And now the
government has run up against the inter.

Atkins advertised for bids for supplies
Tor the Indians and last week went out
to St. Louis to open the proposals and
award The contracts. IL was found that
all the bids were very much higher than
than they ever were betoreytor ~ same
articles and that the appropriations Of
congress were not sufficient 70 make the
necessary purchases. The contractors
explained that under the
long and short haul clause
Of the Interstate commerce bill the cost
of transportation was at least 100 and IN
some cases 3U0 per cent greater than il
ever was before, as the railroads charged
them local rates for the longest dis,

this outrage in obedience to the order

doubt ABOUT this, too, for the dispatches
say that the officer a command gave
money out OF his own purse to the pcor

Information from Washington is to
the effect that no attention is paid TO any
reports on the situation except those
from Agent Anderson. 30 the adminls-

Agent Anderson seems to be the same
kind OF a fellow as the inspectors sent
out by the land Office to find fraud
among the land entries. As long as
the governments declines to be Influenced
by any other information its course will
continue to be one OF oppression Of the
settler. As ii Sparks and. his fraud
bureau were not enough, 1t is now the
Indian agent against the settler, and the
settler gets the worst of it again, because
this administration has no use for him,
in Dakota.
The excuse for the evicting order is
that the order opening the reservation
was procured nnder suspicious circum-
stances and in the interest of land grab
bing spectators. The Journals COR
respondents have very successfully ex-
posed the himsiness of that oharge, and
the character of the information upon
which it was based seems TO have been
no better than the outrageous messages
with which Agent Anderson IS now
making sport of the sufferings and finan-
ciai ruin which he has been Instrumental

they rather enjoy it.

have been. taught to do so many tricks
that there is no further demand for
educators, and 80 the professor, whose
salary has greatly exceeded those

confronted with the cold fact that he
would have to stand a reduction. But

Another Erpress Car ROBBERY.

San Francisco, April 28-The evening
Bulletins special from Tucson, A. T.,
gives the details of an audacious train.
robbery of a west bound overland train
ON the southern Pacific ra3lroad last
evening. The tram was stopped at
Payago station; eighteen miles east of
Tucson, about $3.50 IN the evening, by o
red signal light. Distractions had been
placed IN the track, so in case.the engi-
neer failed to stop the train would be
derailed. Five to eight men were en-
gagged in the robbery. Immediately on
the train stopping o dozen or more shots
were fred into the express car, and arm
ed men boarded the locomotive t o watch
the engineer. Failing to get open the
express car door the robbers placed o
stick of giant powder under it and com
PEELED Engineer Harper to light the
fuse. To avoid being blown up the
messenger opened the door, and the
robbers took possession OF the car after
e~xtinguishing the fuse. They uncoupled
the engine, baggage and express cars
from the remainder of the train and
made the engineer get off. The robbers
then pulled ont six miles toward Tucson.
Here they killed the engine and left 1T.
During the run they went through the
express car, but did not get more than

ed. They got two packages Of railroad
money, amounting to 500, and also two
packages Of postage stamps. The ex-
press messenger saved $4,000 from the
robbers by hastily hiding it in the stove.
Nothing was known of the affai IN
Tucson until after midnight, when a
telegram was received from
Pantsno, a brakeman having
walked back eight miles to
that place. An engine was sent down and
the train wax brought in this morning.
None of the passengers were molested
and some Of them knew nothing of the
trouble until after their arrival at Tue
son. Nothing has yet been discovered
that would lead to the identity of the
robbers. They are thought to be dis
charged railroad employees, as their
~astions in handling the train showed
that they we're familiar with such work.
